The example of 03-04? The run-in - using the number of matches Pokster has decided on
was P5 W2 D3 F6 A 4
the two wins were by narrow margins to a team with nothing to play for and one that was already relegated - not exactly stunning form. Stuttering I would say. The first 5 games the following season saw us set off like a rocket. Not sure the theory holds up there
P5 W 5 F19 A 5
Finishing a season unbeaten in the league is a pretty good ending in my book.
But anyway, I'm sure that we can overcome our stuttering home form and kick the scousers back up the M6. :-)
Kind of my point though - since the league season lasted 38 games
not the last five hence the form wasn't that of the team towards the end of the season. But as you say just beat the f**kers and we can all be happy. Apart from Pokster who too Northern to smile
